New criteria for being elected onto MSSA's Management Board.

MSSA president, Amanda Pakade, oversaw vast and sweeping changes.

Any organisation that does not continually re-evaluate the way that it does business will eventually fail and be swept out with yesterday's news.

Thus Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), having been founded in 1985, always takes a critical look at its Constitution. In the past ten (10) years only in 2014 and 2015 were there no changes effected to the Constitution. In the quick-paced environment in which Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) finds itself, due the everchanging esports scene, the 2014 and 2015 years hampered the developmment and flexibility for which MSSA prides itself.

Nevertheless, at MSSA's 2018 AGM, a number of changes were effected.

One such change was to amend the criteria of those who may be elected onto the Management Board.

The changes, allow greater diversity on MSSA's Management Board while not sacrificing stability and good governance.

The new criteria are:

Have
served a full term on the Management Board, or

Have
served a full term as Provincial Director, or

Have
served two full terms as Regional Director, or

Have
served two full terms on a Board of Control, or

Have
earned at least ten (10) Protea caps, or

Have
served three years on the club committee of which they are currently
a member.

However,
it should be noted that Registered Players who have not completed the
year for which they were co-opted or any term for which they were
elected in the previous year and/or term shall not stand be allowed to stand for
election.Also read:
